Theres a thing called anima

LOL super long travel times would be walking from town to town. COME ON PEOPLE THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND. It will take you 20mins on foot to get to LL. Probably the same to get to Grid(I'll time it). That travel time would be cut down to a few minutes with an airship. Lets say 5mins(including the wait for the airship) thats a 75% reduction in travel time. You all guys are all high on crack if you don't have 5mins to spare. Like I've stated many times before in this thread [SIZE="7"]STUFF HAS TO MAKE SENSE!!!![/SIZE] Please, [SIZE="5"]ANYONE[/SIZE], tell me how this instant airship ride, mixed with the non instant ride, makes ANY SENSE AT ALL! Come on, I'm on my knees begging.

fact is (without using that stupid large text and font) it does NOT have to make sense. why because its a game.

Tell me if everything has to make sense how come i can beat a 50 foot tall dragon with my fists? You will have no answer because it does not make sense. SO thats how instant airship DOES make sense in a completely fake fantasy (wow thats in the title of the game no?) game.

P.S. you can get off you knees now i just answered the question.

Stuff has to make sense? Stuff like notorious beasts being slain and popping up 10min later?
Stuff like enemies appearing out of thin air in general?
Stuff like going into your own instanced world for quests?
Stuff like enchanted bikinis?

Let's face it, it's a video game... not everything has to make perfect sense.

Ok, lets make take out half the story line. It doesn't have to make sense. LETS TAKE OUT GRAVITY. LETS MAKE IT WERE YOUR RANDOMLY TELEPORTING EVERYWHERE. ONE TIME YOUR FIGHTING WITH YOUR HAND NEXT A LEVEL 100 WEAPON. Come one people. The world has to make sense. You're right its a game.

If we are right that would make you wrong and insta airships makes sense then. Cool now we can close this awful thread. Or we can understand that both options will be in the game so stop crying.

P.S.
there are plenty of games without gravity and other random bits (mario galaxy) and they were fun as hell. Just a FYI. and it made perfect sense in that game.

You apparently don't see the point I'm trying to make.

No i see it but its stupid and makes no sense. everything does not make sense in a GAME and you should know that by now.

You're the only one claiming everything has to make sense, the only one taking these things out should appease is you. I personally have no problem with not everything making sense and therefore have no problem with this content. You do realize you're running with a self-defeating argument, right?

LETS TAKE OUT GRAVITY.

The game doesn't have gravity. When you drop off a ledge, you instantly teleport to the ground.

Stuff like,

This games world runs on a clock, it has day and night, there are time specific event that occur.

Being able to travel across the entire world instantly on a mechanism that does not possess that ability drastically diminishes the effectiveness of these fundamental systems.

If the land of Eorzea had instant travel airships they would be able to put down the empire, instantly.

It's a fantasy game, nothing has to make any sense whatsoever (and some of it doesn't!).

I don't see the problem with SE giving us options:

If you want to experience in your opinion the full immersion of the game by taking 5-10mins to ride the airship you can; for others who this is not a game-breaking issue for they don't have to. Why are options bad? Do you really want everything in game to have no choices attached to it?

It's no different in my opinion to the enemy aggro icon and rank toggle on and off- if I want full "immersion" and feel that having this displayed on my screen I can toggle it off. If I feel like "actually I don't really care", then I can turn it back on. And having an icon and indicator to tell me what rank a mob is and whether it is aggressive does not "make sense" either, I mean we don't get this in real life do we? ^^
